RGB Building Supplies Wiveliscombe employee Josh Fyfe has raised £574.20 for Mind in Somerset by shaving his hair during the branch’s recent fundraising event.

The "close shave" charity event, held on Friday, September 27, saw members of the trade and local community come together for a morning of product demonstrations, prize giveaways, and, of course, Josh’s head shave.

Josh, who was inspired by friends facing mental health challenges, commented: "I'm grateful to everyone who contributed. Mind in Somerset relies on donations to ensure it can continue its crucial work helping local people. I hope this event demonstrates the importance of supporting mental health awareness and resources in our community."

Mind offers a lifeline to those experiencing mental health difficulties, providing confidential support lines, local advice, information, and advocacy.
